Challenge 121: BRAINSTORMING

to try to solve a problem or come up with new ideas by having a discussion that includes all members of a group : to discuss a problem or issue and suggest solutions and ideas When the situation is dire and none of the protagonists know what to do, there’s an obvious next step: a brainstorming session! Can they pool their ideas and come up with something better, using the power of friendship (or in some cases, the power of tolerating each other long enough to come up with a plan) to solve their problem? Whether it’s as minor as a coffee-pot failure or as major as the end of the world, a brainstorming session is a great way to develop your characters. Who jumps in with wild ideas immediately, and who sits back and quietly formulates something with a little more detail? Do they work well together, practically finishing each other’s sentences, or are they still figuring themselves and each other out? Is there one person who’s usually “the idea guy”, or do they all regularly share ideas? Write a story about brainstorming. BONUS GOAL: “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” If your submission includes this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
